Description
Take one regulation beat-up PBA bowling pin, apply paint, and you have a fun piece of art! Fill in the ruts, nicks and other damage with bondo, sand it down with 120 grit, then 150, and finish with 220. Don't need to go higher unless you feel inclined. There will still be some imperfections on the surface, nothing major. Spray a couple coats of white primer to give yourself a good clean surface..and then apply your imagination..but acrylics will work better, unless you like to use oil based enamel which will increase your drying time. If you go with acrylics, after the initial painting is done, apply a spray coating of marine varnish or gloss Helmsman(tm) and let dry for a couple of days.

And there you'll have it!! Insta-Art!!

EDIT: Here's a gal who does some great bowling pin art!! She also does her art on other things too!! [link]

There's other artists out there who place their art on bowling pins. Go to your fav search engine and type in "bowling pin art" ..etc.. Also try it on dA's search window...there's a few here on dA as well!!
